Staff Testimonials

“I see the immediate effect of music in their lives. They can be so isolated, but once the music starts, they light up. They interact with you. A lot of it is building up trust, understanding the nuances of the way they express themselves.”
—-Judy Kuo, Music Therapist

“A lot of people have trouble verbalizing their problems. It’s easier for them to communicate with art. With art you’re in a creative zone. And you might see something a doctor hasn’t.”
—- Marissa Householder, Art Therapist.
